--- Comment #3 from Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org> ---
I'm inclined to agree and to not add additional checking - ssh should
aim to protect the user against misconfiguration, but it's IMO overkill
to detect serious admin misconfiguration.

On one hand, as Darren points out, a too strict definition of
"misconfiguration" might break working setups.

On the other, how far should a user tool go towards checking the system
is in an expected state? Should it check the permissions on
/etc/passwd? /dev/*? etc.
